I'm curious to hear what other PALS do for routine blood tests after they have been diagnosed.
I do Comp. Met Panel and CBC every six months. I also do TSH every six months due to Hashimoto's (I use iodine supplements to get back from hypo to normal). I also do a C-reactive protein every six months since I read that it might be connected to progression. I do an ABG every six months. My iron level was very low last year and my free copper was high so I have these checked every six month as well.
My C-reactive protein was 0.6 in January and 0.7 in July. My ferritin levels are going up slowly since supplementing with Iron. I will stop as soon as it gets a little more above normal.
I'm due for another ABG. My first two were pretty good.
